Page 8: Proper Application And Operation
First time users should reference “Battery Insertion Replacement” before using the unit. Noncontact (Infrared) Mode Pressing and holding the ON button starts the food safety thermometer in noncontact (infrared) measurement mode. The measurement will continue as long as the ON button is depressed, indicated by the blinking “SCAN”. -
Page 9: Mode Selection
When the highest accuracy is required, it is advisable to repeat the measurement cycle to insure the probe has fully stabilized and reached equilibrium with the object. Noncontact Food Safety Thermometer Proper Application and Operation Note MODE ebq04.eps... -
Page 10: Countdown (Timer) Mode
Countdown (Timer) Mode The food safety thermometer has a built in countdown timer to conveniently monitor cooking, cooling, and critical exposure times, as well as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) inspection intervals. -
Page 11: Haccp Check
HACCP Check This thermometer incorporates a “HACCP Check” feature to graphically display critical temperature zones. The icons and LED indicators located above the display indicate a food product is safely held at a sufficient holding temperature, or if it has fallen within the unsafe HACCP “Danger... -
Page 12: Noncontact Temperature Measurement Applications
FoodPro Plus Users Manual A Green LED indicator shows a safe chilled or frozen condition below 4 C (40 F) or a safe holding temperature above 60 C (140 F). The Red LED indicator light is displayed when temperatures are within the HACCP “Danger Zone”... -
Page 13: Measuring Packaged Products In Cold Storage Cases
Measuring Food in Holding and Serving Areas Use the noncontact thermometer to easily scan and accurately measure surface temperature of products held in hot or cold holding areas, such as open-top refrigeration units, steam tables, salad bars, fresh meat or fish displays and warming ovens. -
Page 14: Field Verification Of Accuracy
Infrared (IRT) and Probe channels (RTD) Follow the steps below to verify the accuracy of your food safety thermometer. The 0 C (32 F) “stirred ice bath” is the recommended verification reference point. Since it is more difficult to measure the surface of hot water, the hot verification should be used only as a general accuracy check of the IRT channel. -
Page 15: Hot Temperature Verification Check
Due to evaporative cooling on the surface of the hot water, it is particularly important that the surface of the water be continually stirred while making the IR measurement (Figure 9). Noncontact Food Safety Thermometer Field Verification of Accuracy 0ºC (32ºF) -
Page 16: Field Of View
Field of View The ideal working range of the noncontact thermometer (IRT) is between 25 mm and 250 mm (1 and 10 inches) or the field of view from the target to the unit, divided by 2. The built in target illumination beam helps to indicate the measurement area. -
Page 17: Operating And Ambient Temperature Range
Figure 10. Noncontact Thermometer Working Range Operating and Ambient Temperature Range The food safety thermometer is designed to operate in environments between 0 °C – 50 °C (32 °F – 122 °F). Avoid subjecting the unit to extreme or abrupt changes in ambient temperatures. Allow the unit to stabilize for a minimum of 30 minutes if exposed to rapid temperature changes. -
Page 18: Setting/Changing C/F Temperature Scales
Setting/Changing ºC and ºF Temperature Scales The food safety thermometer can display temperature in either the C (Celsius) or F (Fahrenheit) scales. The desired scale is selected at the time the battery is installed: Selecting the °C Scale:... -
Page 19: Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning Instructions This food safety thermometer is sealed to IP54 standards. The unit may be wiped down with a wet sponge or cloth using a mild water based detergent or anti-bacterial soap and rinsed under a gentle stream of cold water (Figure 13). -
Page 20: Probe Replacement
Users Manual Probe Replacement The modular probe of the food safety thermometer is replaceable. To replace probe, extend the probe partially to access the rubber caps. Carefully pry up the rubber caps using a pin, and remove the screws using a #2 cross-tip screwdriver as shown. -
